WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Vice President Dick Cheney signed a secret resignation letter shortly after taking office in 2001 and kept it in a safe, according to an excerpt of an NBC interview released on Wednesday.

Cheney, who has a long history of heart disease, said concern about a possible health crisis was one of the main reasons he kept the letter. Former President George W. Bush knew about it and so did a Cheney staff member.
"One was my own health situation. The possibility that I might have a heart attack or a stroke that would be incapacitating. And, there is no mechanism for getting rid of a Vice President who can't function."

Cheney, who spoke to NBC about his forthcoming memoir "In My Time," gave a few glimpses of some of the book's topics and said it was likely to be controversial.
"There are going be heads exploding all over Washington," he said.....snip?

Cheney's book is due out Aug 30th.....look like he says some heads are going to roll. It appears he has said some things about Georgie Boy. Think Cheney will say anything about the Daddy Bush? Karl Rove? Colin Powell? I think Cheney is still railing at Obama with the Foreign Policy. Think he will put anything out there that is red meat? Thoughts? :-\

Powell made a fool of himself with his inane political commentary but, in any case, Rove is trying to sell a book so I'd imagine that there is something controversial.

It sounds exciting and I look forward to it.

I didn't realize there was no established way to remove a VP that was incapacitated. I am sure they would have come up with a solution though better not to have to deal with it. It did seem there was friction between Cheney and Dubya at the end. Dubya wanted to get out of Cheney's shadow but I'm sure those reports were overblown.

Wow Cheney looks really different. Like he has lost some weight. I'm not sure I've seen him since he left as VP.
